Michael Jordan

A six-time NBA champion, five-time league MVP, 14-time All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist – to name but a few honours – Michael Jordan is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest players ever to grace a basketball court. Born in Brooklyn, NY, Jordan was picked third overall in the 1984 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls and would go on to revolutionise the sport with his remarkable speed, daring invention and never-before-seen style. His influence on basketball culture is still being felt today, not just in the USA but around the world.
